“Sloth is the great enemy -- the inspirer of cowardice, irresolution, self-pitying grief, and trivial, hairsplitting doubts. Sloth may also be a psychological cause of sickness. It is tempting to relax from our duties, take refuge in ill-health and hide under a nice warm blanket.”
Patanjali
“When one is confirmed in celibacy, spiritual vigor is gained.”
Patanjali
The cause of suffering is that the unbounded Self is overshadowed by the world.

Yoga takes you into the present moment, the only place where life exists.
Patanjali
Where the heart is full of kindness which seeks no injury to another, either in act or thought or wish, this full love creates an atmosphere of harmony, whose benign power touches with healing all who come within its influence. Peace in the heart radiates peace to other hearts, even more surely than contention breeds contention.
Patanjali
Aversion is a form of bondage. We are tied to what we hate or fear. That is why, in our lives, the same problem, the same danger or difficulty, will present itself over and over again in various prospects, as long as we continue to resist or run away from it instead of examining it and solving it.
Patanjali
It is not enough to have intuitions; we must act on them; we must live them.
